Kolibri (sailing boat)

The kolibri 560 is a Dutch cabin sailing boat designed in 1963 by Antoon van den Brink. The boats were a great success because they were sold as a self building package which made them affordable for a lot of people. The building packages were sold until far in the 1970s and delivery periods of one year were the norm. The kolibri 560 is a 5.6 meters long sailing boat which is unsinkable, has a self draining tub and is sea worthy. Four people can sleep in this boat and it was presented at the HISWA exposition (a dutch boat exposition) in 1964.

Features

The kolibri 560 has a wide cabin and an interior that was designed while using it, which has made it an optimal design. This boat has room for four people to sleep, a toilet, and large depository. The boat was first used as a real family boat in the 1970's but now solo and duo sailers also discovered this small but fast sailing boat.
